UKIAH -- The Lakeport-Ukiah Challenge Series kicked off on a cold and windy Saturday night at the Ukiah Speedway. Racing action moves to the Lakeport Speedway this coming Saturday.

Extreme Asphalts

Kyle Tellstrom opened the 2013 season in style, setting the fast time (13.543 seconds) in the Extreme Asphalt Outlaw division and going on to win the main event.

Mini-stocks

Eddie Barnett won the first mini-stock feature race of the new season, beating out fast qualifier James Stillman (15.124) at the checkered flag.

Legend Cars

Robert Gilliland won the Legend Cars feature race, taking the lead for good after a late race caution forced a restart.

Jammers

Dylan Washburn won the junior jammer main event while Wayne Young won the pro division.

Bombers

With 28 bombers taking to the track, a B-main event was held prior to the A main, with the top 16 qualifiers automatically qualifying for the latter race. In the B-main, Brian White worked his way up from the back of the pack to take the victory.

In the A main, Scott Sabol came from the back of the pack to grab the victory. Tim Buzzard Jr. held the lead for most of the race until a late caution flag forced a restart. At the drop of the green flag, Sabol grabbed the lead for good. Mike Collins came in second and Buzzard ended up third.

The season opener at the Lakeport Speedway this weekend features the Gravitate modifieds, the Taco Bell bombers, the Volvo Rents mini-stocks, the bandoleros and the Legend Cars. Front gates open at 3:30 p.m.
